Did you ever notice, gentle reader,
how very few people take time to give
respectable street greeting? A half
inarticulate murmur is all that ever es-
capes from the lips of the average indi-
vidual, for it is an American character
istc to sacrifice politeness to brevity
on every occasion. The brief time in
which "hello" can be calculated, amply
accounts for the widespread favor OF
the telephone greeting.

The Marshal on His Muscle.

Yesterday Marshal Cummings went out
to the domain of one Hitchcock, located
mile and half west of Fort Omaha, to
order him to bury three dead horses,
which had become slckening nuisance
to the neighborhood. He found three
carcasses and two animals suffering ter
ribly, and which he should be shot. The
cause of the equine mortality did not ap.
pear. At any rate the marshal ordered
Hitchcock to comply with the law at
once. On returning home the marshal
stopped at the Saratoga house post, near

A Scrap With the Indians.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ. May THE Demo-
Gratis Gallup special says serious difficulty
occurred with the Navajo Indians about
o'clock yesterday morning at Defiance sta
tion, seven miles west of here. The trouble
commenced in the store OF the village where
an Indian was shot in dispute by clerk
named Allen Borland, owner of the store and
wife, when they found what had happened,
fled for Gallup. on horseback. They were
intercepted by the Indians. who threatened to
kill them. Borland succeeded in quieting
them by giving up his weapons, and finally
they permitted him to continue his journey.
Meanwhile, Allen and an old man named
Hans barricaded the upper story of the store
to defend themselves from attack. The In
dians broke into the store and carried away
everything valuable. An hour after the
shooting freight train on the Atlantic tS
Pacific railroad passed. Allen succeeded in
making the train and came to Gallup, but
Hans missed it, and after being followed by
the Indians some distance reached Il allup
also. A detachment of cavalry from Fort
Wingate has gone to Defiance, which will
prevent further bOOdshed.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 7.-tSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. THE Gate City guard, which Is
soon TO make tour OF Europe, opened the
campaign yesterday in a. decidedly sensa-
tional manner. The company is composed Of
the best young men Of the city. With a
European trip in view. the company placed
upon its honorary roll the names of many
well rknOwn gentlemen Of Atlanta for the
purpose of enlisting their support. One who
took the most pride in his honorary member
ship was Charles S. ATWOOD, proprietor of
the Evening Capital. But recently he was
made furious by the discovery that Burke had
given the first official announcement of the
proposed trip to the public through the Con-
stitutiOn, whereas he claimed that Burke had
promised to let him have the news first. Then
he attacked Burke and the company in the
paper and was requested to surrender the
certificate OF honorary membership. In reply
10 the request he again attacked the COM
pany and declared that he knew many
things to the detriment of the company and
that Burke would make thousands ont of the
trip. Thursday night the company drafted
reply to Atwood In which his statements
were branded as miserable and malicious
falsehoods" of ''man of low character"
Yesterday Burke published card in which
lie denounced Atwood as "a poltroon and
